    These will be the last official "Audio X" updates, since I'll be picking up the finished product on Friday!

    Steve added some CF rings to the back plate... they were a little plain


    He also replaced the CF on the sub grille


    Lit up and pretty


    Finally, Steve took the car and had the windows tinted

    Well, it's official... I have the Audi back and am a happy camper!!! Of course, all credit has to go to Steve and his crew at Audio X , they definitely exceeded my expectations for a really good sounding system... it's much better than that! I feel like a couple of superlatives are necessary, so here goes;


    Sound: Awesome! Just great overall tone and balance. Totally blown away by the AF GB25's.
    Volume: Holy $#!t... this thing gets stupid loud but stays composed... it goes much louder than I will ever play it!
    Bass: Again, Holy $#!t! I thought the rear window was going to blow out a couple of times... and Steve has the bass turned down, so if I want to go crazy, I have that option.

    I also wanted to give a shout out to the Audio X competition team who lent their ears to the tuning which was done the old fashioned way, without DiracLive. Steve specifically mentioned that Kirk Profitt had tuned late into the night, so I appreciate everyones help! I was especially happy to hear that Kirk had spent time on the tune... I met Kirk back in 2013 at Grayson and Allys Atlanta GTG, and his Acura (at the time) has always been the benchmark vehicle to me. It did everything so well, and got loud AF with no hint of losing composure.


    But I digress... thanks for indulging my diatribe! And again, in case I didn't make it clear, if you are looking for a first rate shop to do your install or freshen-up, Steve and Audio X are the guys!

    Sounds like you had some mega heavy hitters tuning. So it was done full manual and no DL? If no DL was there something it was doing that wasn't playing nice with the vision they had for the tune?
    They might say "don't try this at home" but nothing about not trying it at your friend's house.

    Steve told me early on that he had never tuned a miniDSP before, so while he used the miniDSP software, he tuned by ear.

    Wow, what a fantastic build! It never ceases to amaze me how much skill some folks have with car audio fabrication. Everyone involved with this project should be extremely proud.

    Thank you, appreciate it! I see you are from Columbia, hopefully we'll run into each other at @imjustjason's annual GTG around Labor Day in Nashville... unless you will be coming to @AfghanVet/bertholomey's GTG in May outside of Greensboro NC.

    Thanks, all I can take credit for is picking the equipment, Steve and crew did the rest. Honestly, my car is pretty tame compared to some of what Audio X has done;
